A seemingly rogue Pokemon Ranger commanded a restrained wild Tauros to attack his younger sister. Raul ran to her aid, knocking her onto the ground, and out of the way just in time. Standing firm, and completely enraged by the attack on his sister, Raul was able to stop the rampaging Tauros with his bare hands. For fifteen intense minutes, the Tauros and Raul could not gain ground on each other, and after an intense staredown, Tauros eventually gave in to Raul's strength and determination. With the Ranger nowhere to be found, and his sister unmoving on the ground, an angry Raul offered the Tauros a Pokeball, which it obediantly activated and allowed itself to be captured. His sister has been in a coma ever since, and the medical equipment keeping her stable is expensive to maintain. Now in severe financial debt with the hospital, Raul decided to become a Pokemon Trainer to fund his sister's care. He will agree to battle under any circumstances, as long as the prospect of money is in sight. Ultimately, he seeks to find the Ranger who put his sister in a coma and exact revenge. Raul is extremely distrustful of Rangers, and a strong advocate against organizations that fund, train, and organize Pokemon Rangers.
